CURRIED SPINACH SOUP

I absolutely LOVE this soup and make it all the time. I've adapted the recipe to be more healthy by using olive oil instead of butter and fat-free sour cream. Serve topped with croutons.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large potato - peeled and cubed
6 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup chopped green onions
12 cups spinach - rinsed, stemmed, and dried
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (8 ounce) carton nonfat sour cream

Steps:

  • Place the potato in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Drain, and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the green onions, and cook until tender. Stir in the cooked potatoes, then gradually mix in the spinach, stirring after each addition until spinach is limp. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan, and whisk in the flour and curry powder. Gradually whisk in broth so that no lumps form. Return the spinach mixture to the pan, stirring to blend, along with the lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  • Place sour cream in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot soup into the sour cream, and mix until well blended. Stir this back into the pot of soup. Heat through, but do not allow to boil. Serve immediately.

CREAMY SPINACH AND CARROT SOUP



Creamy Spinach and Carrot Soup image

My mother-in-law made this all the time and even my 7 year old would eat it. Pretty impressive for spinach! I've changed up a few things though by adding more salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. I also like to use 2 bags of pre-washed fresh spinach instead of frozen. And, I tried it in the crock pot last week and it was sooo simple!

Creamy Potato, Carrot, and Leek Soup image

Ever since a trip to Ireland in 2001 I have wanted to recreate a leek soup I enjoyed in a small village restaurant. This is what I came up with and even my husband thinks I nailed it. My kids will eat this because it is smooth and they are not turned off by any particular ingredient.

CARROT SOUP WITH SPINACH CHIFFONADE



Carrot Soup with Spinach Chiffonade image

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
1 pound carrots, peeled, sliced
1 8-ounce russet potato, peeled, cut into cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 cups packed thinly sliced spinach leaves
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Steps:

  • Combine 4 cups broth, carrots, potato, onion and ground ginger in large saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to processor. Puree until smooth. With machine running, gradually add soup broth to processor. Return soup to same saucepan, thinning with more broth if necessary. Add lemon juice and fresh ginger; simmer 3 minutes. Add spinach and simmer until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Swirl 1 heaping spoonful of yogurt into each bowl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach and carrots: Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them thoroughly before adding them to the soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables to the pot at once, they won't cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve with a garnish: A simple garnish like chopped parsley or crumbled bacon can add a touch of elegance to your soup.
